Gould - Souvenir of the Fair at Marseille

Product Information
Not much is known today about Napoleon W. Gould, the composer of this charming miniature. He was a British guitarist and banjo player who went to the United States sometimes in the mid-nineteenth century, where he joined the Daniel Decatur Emmett minstrel show and appeared with it, and with other minstrel groups, at least 20 times between about 1850 and 1870. While in the US, Gould published several compositions and arrangements for guitar and for banjo, notably, with the Oliver Ditson Company of Boston. The present composition was published in London by Johanning & Co. sometimes between 1837 and 1843, ostensibly before Gould’s departure to the US. A footnote at the bottom of page 3, reads as follows: N.B. This Mazurka is founded on the favorite french Chansonette “Ce n’est pas ta dot”.
